• Microfluidics (lab on a chip, ink jet)
• Optical Sensors (photovoltaics, thermal imaging, spectroscopy)
• Microelectronics (FPGA, radiation hardened, embedded, discrete components, vacuum electronics)
• Chemical sensors (preconcentrator, separation, detection, IMS, micro-GC)
• Bio (cybernetics, identification, detection)
• Displacement Sensors (MEMS accelerometers/gyros)
• Radiation Sensors (neutron, gamma)
• Light Sources (VCSEL, OPO, LED, UV LED)
• Photonic Integrated Circuits (optical networks, communication, telecom, switching, Si photonics)
• Microoptics (displays, optical switch, phased array)
• Hybrid Microsystems (IC+MEMS/microfluidics/sensors, micro robots, portable power)
